The Proper House Washing Method

March 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Every house should be washed with the intention of removing pollutants, surface oxidation, and as well as mold and mildew.

You start by: Applying at low pressure, specially formulated house wash detergent to the exterior of your home.  Then switch to high pressure rinse and wash each row of siding and/or pattern clean. (The rinse is started at the outside of the gutters and work down to the foundation)

Once the rinse is complete apply mildew retardant surface sealant which is a unique formula that will enhance the appearance of vinyl and/or aluminum as well as prevent mildew reformation on all surfaces, including wood. Plus it will guarantee no mold will return for one or more years.

By doing this type of power washing you will achieve excellent results. It also makes competitors that utilize what we call the “splash & dash” method look like amateurs. There is also a scam called “Soft Wash” (“Splash & Dash” or “Soft Wash” refers to the person that splashes bleach ( Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite) on the house, rinses and leaves. Bleach does absolutely NOTHING for cleaning carbon type pollutants such as acid rain, exhaust carbons (from vehicles), dirt, grease or grime on your home.) The “soft wash” washing is like removing the agitator (the big piece in the center) from your washing machine doing your laundry and thinking that your clothes are going to be as clean as with the agitator in.  

By using only the BEST house wash products on the market, combined with a mold & mildew retardant surface sealant you can be assured that the soil around your home will be left with a neutral PH level. The soil PH level is very important for the health and safety of your plants, animals and children.

There are various levels of cleaning and various qualities of work. The power washers that follow this type of cleaning are the ones “Setting the Standards” in the power washing industry and feel that doing the best job is the ONLY way you want your house washed.

90% of homeowners do not ask if a power-washer is insured.  They do not ask because they assume that they are.  They also assume that “it is only water, what harm can it cause”.

This is one of the most important questions to ask the professional power washer or any contractor for that matter.  Homeowners have been financially harmed by uninsured or inadequately insured power washers.

Never ever hire an uninsured power washer.
